Which radars cover Iberia?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 72 miles northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Iberia | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 72 mi northeast | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 102 mi south-southwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 138 mi east | 15,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
